QPR goalkeeper Robert Green reckons Simon Mignolet will bounce back at Liverpool.

The Belgian has been dropped by Reds manager Brendan Rodgers in the past week.

Green told Sky Sports: "At some point keepers need a time out - it's strange keeping him for the Champions League and removing him straight afterwards when he didn't do a lot wrong, but that's the manager's decision. Simon will work hard and come back stronger.

"Clearly he's got the ability and clearly the manager believes in him - he signed him - but when times are tough the manager may take stock behind the scenes and say 'now's the time to give him a rest'. It's happened to me, it's happened to every goalkeeper."
